Volunteering in Nepal

Volunteer work in Nepal offers you the lot from the awe-inspiring Himalayas, friendly people and a magical Kingdom. Volunteering in Nepal enables you to get up close to the local people, live amongst the community in a childrens home or poor village away from the tourist trail and put something back. Whether it is basic English phrases, organising outdoor games or providing the children with new stimulation from painting, singing to drama and dance with an English theme. Whether you can offer the children education during your visit or some happy memories of doing new fun things by taking part in volunteer work in Nepal you will make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged children.

Volunteering in Nepal offers a very hands-on experience which makes it all the more stimulating for the children and the volunteer. You may find yourself story telling with pictures you have drawn yourself, teaching your own version of the alphabet song, teaching songs like head, shoulders knees and toes where the children can sing and mime along , teaching outdoor games like cricket, rounders or volleyball or introducing the children to still life drawing or spelling bee competitions (don't forget to bring everything you need from home!).

Volunteer work in Nepal offers the volunteer an opportunity to try out your own ideas and create the volunteer experience that you want.

Nepal At A Glance...

Nepal is home to both Everest and the breathtaking Himalayan Mountains aswell as steamy tropical jungles where this placement is based. The world's highest (and still growing) peaks are twice the height of the Alps and dominate this small country and it's way of life. Most Nepalese live far from a road and must travel by foot or mule to carry out their business. Here you will receive a smile and the greeting "Namaste!" from everyone you pass on the path.

Nepal has a rich culture and still has a king. Wherever you go in the country you will see evidence of Hinduism and Buddhism. There are monasteries, shrines, prayer flags and temples everywhere. An astounding diversity of animal life can also be found in Nepal, ranging from the Bengal tiger to rhinoceros and elephant. A weekend of activities can include jungle safaries, sightseeing tours of monasteries and temples, treks and even bungee jumping!

Climate: Nepal's climate varies due to high altitude regions with tropical jungle regions where it is warm all year.
